7:02 pm
indiana to serve out the rest of the sentence. but instead, he was let go. a follower of charles manson, may be released from prison. his name is bruce davis, he was sent to prison for his role in the manson family killing. parole was recommended for davis, but now it's up to jerry brown to give final approval. brown has 30 days to decide. the usual roar of subway trains in new york, replaced by the sound of a water fall, a water pipe nearly 100 years old, burst above ground in the flat iron district, it sent water into the station. trains are being diverted while the repairs are made. want to get an update on the alabama story where a 5-year-old boy is headed into his fifth night inside an underground bunker. a man they have identified as jim dykes killed a school bus driver and took the boy hostage.
7:03 pm
the police are communicating with dykes through a ventilation tube and do not feel the boy has been harmed. good evening to you, george, what did you see? >> well, don, you know, dozens of people came together. you know, this is a vigil not only to honor charles poland, the slain bus driver who gave his life to try to protect his students on that bus, but this is also a vigil to pray for the 5-year-old boy who is back on the property here behind me, a child who has been in an underground bunker now for five days and there was a slogan that people said, a statement, they kept saying ethan will come out of this hole, ethan will come out of this hole. everyone out here is trying to be as optimistic as possible, but don, there's so much uncertainty, psa woman spoke wi ethan's mother today and said that the family is distraut, hanging on by a thread, don.
7:04 pm
she and everyone out here is hoping that mr. dykes has a change of heart and lets ethan out of the bunker. >> what do you hope he gets from this if he hears this or sees this? >> he -- he just needs to know that, you know, everybody -- everybody makes mistakes. everybody has been through life events that changes them. but ethan is innocent. you know, let him go home to his mother. let him go home to his grandparents. let him go back to school and be with his friends. >> don, you can hear the helicopter buzz behind me. the activity is remaining 24 hours around the clock, and we learned from what michelle
7:05 pm
learned, the family is in constant contact with the investigators and are getting updates hour by hour. >> the sheriff met with reporters earlier today, george, any information about police communicatio communications with dykes? >> we got information, insight from the sheriff about how mr. dykes is treating the young boy. in the bunker he has a heater blankets. that is important because it's cold out here. underground it's a constant 50 degrees. so that is good news. the investigators got medications to the young boy. he suffers from adhd and asperger's's syndrome and we learned that they are able to get crayons and toys and coloring books to him. and when the sheriff relayed the information, he said this. i want to thank mr. dykes for taking care of our boy. that was a direct appeal to mr.
7:06 pm
dykes, does he have television, are they trying speak to him directly. it's fair to assume they are trying to talk to him, don. >> george will be back with us at 10:00 eastern as we continue to monitor the situation. it's similar to an incident that happened nearly 40 years ago. it happened in california, when three men kidnapped a school bus full of children and their driver and buried them underground inside a moving van trailer in hopes of getting ransom money. they all survived but still feel the effects of it. moving on now, in turkey today, a claim of responsibility for the attack to united states embassy. >> yesterday, in the turkish capitol, a suicide bomber blew himself up and killed a man who worked as a security guard at
7:07 pm
the embassy. a group has now said that they sent the bomber and that they are against u.s. foreign policy and they oppose close ties with the west from turkey. and a woman that vanished two weeks ago, we have details on that. >> what we are learning now from the semiofficial state news agency is that sarai sierra's body was found in a poor neighborhood of istanbul, they believe her body, perhaps, was taken there from the site that she was killed. they also say that nine people have been arrested in connection with this. our sister network said that the police told them there's evidence of stab wounds on her body. obviously very sad news for her family. her brother and husband in istanbul expecting to be taken to identify her body. not clear why she didn't make
7:08 pm
that flight home as expected by her family on the 22nd of january, the last communication sh she had with her family the day before, she was excited to come home, has been missing all these days since and now her body discovered in a poorer neighborhood of istanbul. thank you very much, what do you get when you hold a gun buyback program. in tampa a, they got glocks and revolvers and a couple of rocket launchers as well. in all, the sheriff's department collected more than 2500 firearms in exchange for $75 in tickets to some athletic events. it is going to be a near miss, but it still has nasa's attention, scientists say we have never seen an object this big come close to the earth. and the party before the big party. live in new orleans, checking out the teams and the security ahead of super bowl xlvii.

7:12 pm
and two senior selections. we are fewer than 24 hours away from kickoff at the super bowl, no city knows how to have fun like new orleans, but the teams and coaches are all business, knowing a chance like this may come once in a lifetime, and cnn joe carter is in new orleans, a lucky man out with this assignment right now. all right. besides the food, and the drink. and the partying, i don't know, i guess what has today been like? you have to talk about that as well. >> well, you know, i have to work, don, i mean, come on, that is what i'm here to do is work. yeah, we have had plenty of fun, believe me. we will have fun as soon as we are off the air here. for the teams, today was a lighter day for them, both the 49ers and the ravens did a walk through, there was no helmets, no epads, an opportunity to hav a dress rehearsal of sorts. what was interesting was that
7:13 pm
they invited family and friends. for every player that had somebody in town, they had an opportunity to go watch the walk through today. they were able to stand on the sidelines and walk around the superdome, it was a special last practice, ray lewis gave a speech to his team saying, this is it, this is my last practice in the nfl, so the ravens have an emotional advantage going into the super bowl tomorrow and then we have seen a real big uptick in security around town. earlier in the week, it was easy to get around and today, very, very hard. you are talking about no vehicle traffic within two or three blocks of the superdome, most of the streets are barricaded off. they have a lot of police presence around the superdome, i saw bomb sniffing dogs today, a lot more cops than we have seen all week long. the 70,000 plus that come in tomorrow night will have a security check. those watching, remember to pack your patience, show up early and
7:14 pm
travel light. and those coming in to new orleans tonight or tomorrow. the traffic is starting on to get bad, again, it's hard to get around in town. once you get in town, as you know very well, don, it's all good in the big easy. >> enough of the traffic report. we are not there. what is the food like? what have you done that is fun? where did you eat? i told you to go to acme and get t the oysters and then -- >> i went he to ocean air -- ocean an. >> that is it. >> and i had -- >> oceana. >> on bourbon street. thank you, mo is the owner, great guy. we went to another restaurant, had char boiled oyster, a lot of red fish down here. we've had a great time. a lot of work and play as well. i feel like my smart money is to
7:15 pm
harbaughs. >> how is the harbaugh family doing? both brothers coaching, it has to be nerve wracking, afterwards they will say it was a great time, but it has to be nerve wracking for the whole family. >> yeah, you know, i ran into cooper manning earlier in the week and i ask canned him that question. his brother, peyton and eli and he said i don't know, i think they will enjoy this week, but i do not envy the family at all. you know what? earlier in the week, we saw jack and jackie the parents in a very good mood. they were sort of soaking all the atmosphere up and oozing with pride, because their two sons are in it, the negatives will settle in tomorrow, more toward kickoff. they implied that they may go to the losing locker room, when they played in thanksgiving, they went to the winning locker room and said, they should have made the different decision.
7:16 pm
so we do not know where they will sit or where the family members will be. but i will tell you, if they find them on camera tomorrow, you will see their faces a lot throughout the game. they are certainly the most famous parents of super bowl xlvii. to think their two sons are coaching against each other in the super bowl is a unique experience. >> yeah, and my family would say, one will come in first, and the other will come in second, instead of a winner and loser. so, joe -- >> nobody remember who is comes in second, man. >> have a great time, have a great time. that is a fun assignment, really, enjoy it, take it all in. thank you, joe carter. he we will see you soon. the super bowl will be seen by football fans that are not even on planet earth. that is right, the six astronauts may not have chicken wings or even gravity, but they will be able to watch the game. a nasa spokesman tells cnn -- space.com rather, that nasa control made a point of asking them if they wanted the super bowl beamed to them and they said definitely. they definitely wanted to see
7:17 pm
it. of course they want to see it. another thing that the international space station may be watching, an astroid is set to fly kroes to earth in two weeks, nasa said that the small astroid will be on a collision course with the planet, it's about half the size of a football field. nasa said it will be closest to earth on february 15th. about 17,000 miles away. you cannot see it with the naked eye, but a small telescope or binoculars may do a trick for you. school is a tough place for even the cool kids. jacob rudolph, a teenager who found the courage to over could come the fear of rejection, and he did it in front of his entire school, he will tell us why and how he did it next. life.un of torque. it's chevy truck month! silverado was also recognized for the lowest cost of ownership.

7:19 pm
7:20 pm
maybe you have seen it, if you have not, we will show you
7:21 pm
in a bit. it's a video of a teen, jacob rudolph, coming out to 300 of his class nates. he decided to come out in as public a way as possible. he was made a role model for equal rights. and helping him get know know an invite to the human rights catch pain. how are you do something. >> doing well. thank you. >> we will start by taking a look at your big moment. roll it. >> most of you see me every day you see me acting the part of a straight gay guy. when i'm in fact an lgbt teen, less bean, gay, bi sexual, transgender teenager. unlike millions on of other lgbt teens -- i'm not going to do it
7:22 pm
anymore. -- so take me, leave me, move me out of the way, i am what i am, and that's how i'm going to act from now on. >> jacob, no doubt it took a lot of courage to stand in front of your classmates and reveal your sexual orientation, in your speech, you say that you had been acting like a straight man, so why did you decide to come out in this way? and so early in high school? i would never have had the courage to come out in high school or even college. >> well, i felt like i had gotten to the point where keeping this a secret from my friends who i cared about so much and they did not know it about me, it was too difficult. i did it in this manner because i wanted this to be a public coming out. i wanted everyone to see it, and i wanted, especially lgbt teens to know that if i can come out in this way, and in front of all my peers with the potential of not being accepted, i think they can do it too.
7:23 pm
>> hm-mm, and you use the term lgbt, why did you use that teen instead of just gay teen? >> well, because that is actually gotten a lot of criticism, i used it intentionally, because i think using labels as gay, straight or buy sexual in society is antiquated i don't have to dee fine myself right now. but i know that i am in a category and i feel like because i'm in the category, i fall in the category of being left out of critical groups of nonstraight oriented people. >> your video went viral and you have -- i'm sure you have gotten a lot of support. >> absolutely. >> but you probably got a lot of backlash that you probably don't want to focus on. talk about that. >> the support initially, as
7:24 pm
soon as i finished the speech, it came from my peers. they have been so incredible and supportive and i really, i cannot thank them enough for that. there has ban lot of positive feedback from the media, and i have gotten a lot of attention about this, and ify that is very, i think this is what it deserves. it's a very important topic in american society, but i don't think that we have the answers. as far as criticisms go, i have seen too many divisions on line, especially from people within the gay community, i think if you take the civil rights movement, for example, it lovsta lot of credibility, and momentum when it started to fracture in things like the black panthers, it -- i think if american lgbts want to see progress, they have to stop with the differences and opinions and i think we need to start banding together and become a unit with a similar goal. that is how we will get somewhere. >> it's refreshing to hear you
7:25 pm
say that, especially from an d older person in that community. >> you are not old. >> i have seen the division and i talked about that in my speech just yesterday. someone asked me if i had ever experienced racism in the gay community and i said absolutely. just because you are gay, doesn't mean you are always open minded and many times i go to gay events and i'm the only person of color in the room, because i'm getting an award or the emcee at the event and there's something wrong with your parents put your video online, and that means your parents are supportive. people are watching saying, he is a teenager, he doesn't know what his orientation is right now. how does he know as a teen? he should not be coming out at this point. >> well, yeah, my dad has been incredibly supportive and my mom as well, and support in the
7:26 pm
realm of how parents react to their children's orientation. parents cannot be supportive if they support what society says is okay. i think parents reaction come from the want to have the wife and kids and the same opportunity thes that they had, but once they hear the words gay or anything in that category, i think parents become disheart ened and they start rejudging their opinions on how things are going to play out in their kids' lives. the more parents are educated on how gays can have exactly the same opportunities that straight people can in many states. that is one step closer for parents getting more reckoning. >> so you are going to the hrc gala? >> yes. >> you are not peeking he though, right -- you are not speaking though, right? >> that has yet to be said. >> you want to talk about an
7:27 pm
anti-gay bill in texas and lgbt? >> right, well, the bill there's a part of the bill that discusses how subjects like gays, and lgbt matters. it should not be taught in the he education system, it should be left for home discussion and up to the parents to impart that information on their children. in a state like texas, that is very heavily religious and those sort of topics kind of dominate the home life, i don't think that that is going to be a reality and if anything, i think more biases, are going to be put forward than anything else. it's up to the education institutions to start educating the kids on lgbt matters and destroying some of the biases and prejudices that have gone through society and are really starting to effect people. >> jacob, best of luck to you. >> thank you. >> you are a brave young man. thank you. it was a pleasure to talk to you. >> have a great night.
7:28 pm

7:34 pm
you are spending four million to run it and another million to produce it. there's a lot of money behind it, but marketers found over time that they do work. >> i will ask you again, i mean, do he they typically see a spike in sales if a company runs an ad during a super bowl. >> it's hard to track, so that is the debate that goes on all the time. hey, we are spending all this money, how can we track it. what they do is they say, we research, we do interviews with people after we run the commercial. and find out if they like our brand better. and then people, the board room is like, wait a second, how does that translate to sales. they say, we may have seen a bump in sales after the commercial. but it could be any number of factor ones. it's a hard debate, it's a debate i have had plenty of times. >> if your company is humming along and then all of a sudden after the super bowl, you would know that. >> you would know that. definitely, you would know that. but it does not always do. that a lot of times it's a small
7:35 pm
bump and they cannot tell, if it's the super bowl promotion or the promotion in other areas. >> a super bowl ad has to do one or two things or they are wasting their time. what is that? >> it has to either make people laugh or make people cry. and research has shown that if you can get people to have an emotion around a commercial, they will remember your commercial more and therefore end up buying your product. so you have to make them laugh or cry, if you do not do one of those two things you could be wasting your money. >> a bunch of companies are turning to the -- a bunch of companies are turning to the commercials toyota and pepsi are asking for viewers to send in instagram coca-cola, audi, and prom date, released teasers asking for viewers to vote how they should turn out and bud

7:46 pm
from faulty cancer detecters to errant porn collectors. let's start with the first. there's several apps that say that it can tell if you have a mole that is possibly dangerous. depending on the app you use the crassry rate goes from single digits to 100%. that is kind of scary that it can do that. how do i know if i can put any faith in one of these? >> you know, i say, this is a good time for a reality check, i mean there are apps that claim they can do anything. you have the quote, there's an app for this, but an app cannot always detect skin cancer, that being said, one was 98% accurate when they tested it. you had on go on the app, and take a picture and they sent it to a doctor. that will be better. it will have a better track record than one that just says yes or no.
7:47 pm
all the apps have the ability to tell you what to look out for, where is the nearest dermatologist, they are not all bad. >> it was found a while ago, that a high tech bra that was able to detect breast cancer, and it could not deliver on that promise, are we getting close tore things that will detect it? >> i think with technology getting better and better, we will see more and more of these. you know, i think it's always very, very important to remember that that the technology might be getting close tore connecting you with medical care. but it should never replace medical care. that is what you should always think and we have seen all the body tracking technologies, you can measure your heart rate and everything. but your smartphone will not replace your doctor. >> very good advice. we have been hearing about this new thing for twitter that lets
7:48 pm
